TI  - Hawthorn: potential roles in cardiovascular disease.
PG  - 1-10
AB  - Hawthorn (Crataegus) may play a role in the prevention and treatment of 
      cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and in particular, 
      congestive heart failure. Evidence is accumulating that hawthorn may induce 
      anti-ischemia/reperfusion-injury, anti-arrhythmic, hypolipidemic and hypotensive 
      effects. These beneficial effects may in part be due to the presence of 
      antioxidant flavonoid components. While a number of studies have been performed 
      to evaluate the clinical efficacy of hawthorn, an international, multicenter, 
      prospective clinical study including a large number of New York Heart Association 
      (NYHA) class II/III heart failure patients is ongoing to test hawthorn's 
      long-term therapeutic effects. Further clinical trials as well as pharmacokinetic 
      and mechanistic studies are needed to explore and confirm its effectiveness, 
      safety and pharmacological mechanism.
